our adventure in Kuala Lumpur

     One of the most amazing trips we made was to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia; alwayis i see trips everywhere to kuala lumpur for just a day or two but in fact they miss a lot, kuala lumpur needs at least 5 days to enjoy, every piece of Malaysia has a special charm that made us addicted to it.

It is true we went to Malaysia twice but we will visit it more and more in the future.

It is nice to know a little history about your destination to feel its soul.


First people inhabited a town called "Klang" on the western Malaysia living on sea fishing, after a while they were searching for the mud to add agriculture and other means of living to their lives so they discovered Kuala Lumpur which means "muddy river confluence" in Malay, Kuala Lumpur has grown from a small sleepy Chinese tin-mining village to a bustling metropolis of around 6.5 million population.

It has a tropical climate so there is no four seasons, just wet and dry seasons, March is the hottest month in Kuala Lumpur with an average temperature of 28°C (82°F) and the coldest is January at 27°C (81°F) with the most daily sunshine hours at 8 in September. The wettest month is November with an average of 290mm of rain.


Stores close at 8 p.m. so make sure that your day ends at this time and starts early.

here are the attractions we visited:

1- Petronas Twin Towers ( KLCC):


they are twin skyscrapers in Kuala Lumpur; They were the tallest buildings in the world from 1998 to 2004 and remain the tallest twin towers in the world.

you can enjoy Suria KLCC retail center at the feet of the Towers. It features mostly foreign luxury goods and high-street labels.

and you can go up 558ft (41 floor) to the sky bridge to view the city from above.




2- petrosains:


A modern museum focused on the science & technology of the energy industry in an interactive way, it is perfect for your kids and yourself also.
It is located at Level 4, Suria KLCC, PETRONAS Twin Towers





3- The musical fountain:

out of Suria KLCC there is a large fascinating fountain, you can rest there, take your dinner take away from restaurants inside the shopping center and dine there.

daily at night they have musical  shows in multilingual songs 
where fountains dance with the music.
each time we visit kuala lumpur it is a must to watch. 






4- Taman Negara (National Park):


is a huge park near KLsentral
we went there on foot and spent the whole day.
there you can find wide green area with lakes for free and specialized parks with tickets like deer park and bird park.



and we had lots of other adventures like in:

  • The National Museum
  • Merdeka Square
  • Jalan Petaling ( China Town)
  • Sultan Abdul Samad Building
  • KL Tower
  • aquaria KLCC



for shopping : Kuala Lumpur is rich with shopping malls with great prices like in Berjaya Times Square, KWC, and nu-sentral.


Kuala Lumpur has endless numbers of attractions and shopping malls but these are what we visited ourselves.
